3 cups of all purpose flour

1 tsp of baking soda

1 tbsp of cinnamon

1/2 tsp of salt

preheat the oven to 350.

in a medium mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, set aside.

in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer, combine the butter and sugars. once mixed well, add in the eggs and vanilla. once mixed, add in the flour mixture and combine well. gently mix in the oats on low until fully incorporated.

line a baking sheet with parchment paper and using a cookie scoop or spoon, scoop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet. you will get about 24 medium sized cookies.
